You And I: Expanded Edition (A Helluva Boss Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

The cold water splashing on his face yanked Lucas out of unconsciousness.

Shivering, Lucas stared into the rage-filled eyes of the woman who had just tried to kill him.

"Bitch," Lucas spat. Loona rolled her eyes. She had turned back to her human form, but the blood stains from when she bit the intruder were still caked to the skin around her mouth.

Lucas sat tied to a chair in the kitchen. Loona stood in front of him. After placing the now empty bucket on a nearby counter, she crouched down and grabbed the bloody kitchen knife off of the floor.

Lucas looked past her, and his eyes widened as they rested on the grisly sight of three male corpses.

"What the fuck..." he muttered.

Loona stood back up. "They were trying to rob you, so you really should be thanking me."

Lucas glared at her. "You're lucky you tied me up, cause if I wasn't you'd know exactly how that cunt Maxine felt when I-"

Rage flared up in Loona. "Don't you FUCKING DARE SAY HER NAME!"

Shaking with rage, Loona plunged the knife deep into Lucas' right leg.

Lucas screamed in pain. "YOU BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Lucas trashed in his chair and struggled against the ropes, desperate to get out.

But his struggles were cut short when Loona stabbed him in the gut.

Lucas froze and looked down at the blade sticking out of his stomach.

"Fuck," Lucas whispered, just as Loona tore the knife out of him and slammed it deep into his torso again. And again. And again.

With each stab, Lucas could feel the knife tearing his insides to shreds.

Stabbing the knife into Lucas one last time, Loona took a moment to take a deep breath and calm down. Then she leaned in so her mouth was almost touching Lucas' ear and she gripped the knife's handle tightly.

"Don't even try coming after me or her once you arrive in Hell, because we will fucking hunt you down and tear you limb from limb."

Lucas' last moments were of confusion. Arrive in hell? What does she-

His thoughts were cut short by the knife slashing open his stomach, and the sound of his shredded intestines flopping to the linoleum floor together in a gory muck.

Loona set the knife down and picked up the Grimoire from where she hid it in the back of the kitchen, opened the portal, and stepped through as Lucas Wilkes died slowly and in pure agony.

———

The moment that Loona stepped into Maxine's apart and closed the portal, Maxine had already pounced on her and the two lovers crashed to the floor of Maxine's living room.

Maxine's kiss was impatient, needy, and nervous, but ultimately, it was a relieved one.

Loona instantly melted to the touch of the woman she loved and kissed back.

After they kissed, Maxine quietly asked a question.

"What if he comes for us when he gets here?"

Loona met Maxine's eyes with her own. "We'll be ready. I won't let him hurt you ever again. I promise."

Maxine teared up, and she kissed Loona again. Right here, on the carpet of her living room, the love of her life in her arms, she had everything that she had ever wanted.
